Some flowers may pollinate by themselves in an action called self-pollination. For this to occur the flower must have both male and female parts and isn't adapted to prevent self-pollination.

What type of pollination in hibiscus?

Hibiscus plants can be both self-pollinating and cross-pollinating. They are primarily pollinated by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, who transfer pollen between flowers as they feed on nectar. Hibiscus flowers can self-pollinate when the pollen from the anther is transferred to the stigma within the same flower.


Why did Mendel prevent his plants from self-pollinating?

To control the crossing of the traits.Because his experiments were aimed at what happened when you cross pollinated the plants with different characteristics. Self-pollination would have meant that his experiments would not have worked.


Do you need two tangerine trees to cross pollinate?

No, tangerine trees are self-pollinating and do not require another tree for fruit production. However, having multiple trees nearby can potentially increase the yield and quality of the fruits.


What happens in self pollination?

Self-pollination occurs when a flower's pollen lands on the female reproductive organ (pistil) of the same flower or another flower from the same plant. This process does not require external agents like bees or wind for pollination to occur. It can lead to reduced genetic diversity in the offspring.


Differentiate cross pollination from self pollination?

Self pollination is where the plant is able to pollinate without another plant. This provides much less variation in the genetics of the species from generation to generation than cross pollination which is where the pollen from one plant is carried to another plant (bees usually do this) and fertilizes the other plant. It creates more genetic diversity because the genes from both plants, which are different, are involved in the forming of the seed, not just the genes from the one self-pollinating plant.--------------------------------------------IMPROVEDSelf pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower, another flower on the same plant, or the flower of a plant of the same clone. Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution.

Is a jasmine a cross-pollinating flower or a self pollinating flower?

Jasmine plants are generally self-pollinating, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs within the same flower and can fertilize themselves without the need for cross-pollination from another plant.


Could a flower self pollinating?

Yes, there are many self-pollinating vegetables, including most beans, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, lentils, and more.


What is self pollination in a flower?

it is the transfer of pollen grains from the anthers to the stigma of the same flower


What is self-pollinating?

Self pollination is when the pollen from the Stamen goes to the Stigma of the same flower, rather then the pollen going to a Stigma of a different flower.


When a plant receives pollen from within the same flower what is it said to be?

self-pollinated or self-pollinating


What is self-pollinating of a plant?

When pollen grains from the flower of same plant land on the stigma of same flower or other flowers of the same plant, it is called self-p0llinating of a plant.


Are okra cross pollinating or self pollinating?

Yes, as are tomatoes.


What is a self-pollinating plant?

pollen from one flower or plant can fertilize the eggs of the same flower or the eggs of another flower on the same plant. another definition is both male and female reproductive structures.

How did Mendel prevent pea flowers from self pollinating and control their cross pollination?

He used a brush to wipe the pollen of of the flower and placed it on another plant causing forced self-pollination.


How does an apple flower pollinate?

It depends on the type of apple tree, some are self pollinating and some need other trees pollen in order to pollinate.

Yes, Nanking cherries are self-pollinating, which means they do not require another cherry tree for pollination.
